Introduction: Hi, my name is Layla, I am a former Bostonian who relocated to California to be able to enjoy the beautiful outdoors year-round and to further my educational goals. I obtained my bachelor’s degree in Food Science and Nutrition and I attended nursing school which included a hospital clinical where I cared for a variety of patients. I am currently pursuing my masters in Nutrition and Functional Medicine. I would like to continue focusing on helping people by using a holistic approach as a life coach.
Children and animals gravitate towards me because of my loving, fun nature. In fact I have cared for dogs most of my life and believe pet therapy can be beneficial. I witnessed its effectiveness in hospitals and nursing homes as well as with many others. I worked as a Nutritionist at the prestigious Jonathan Club as well as privately in collaboration with other health practitioners. I pride myself in developing a great rapport with my clients and helping them achieve their personal goals. I've collaborated with multiple health practitioners in coming up with a complete health plan using a mind, body, spirit approach since these three elements are dynamically interrelated. Additionally, health evaluations may include gastrointestinal system balances, food sensitivities, inflammation, environment/mold toxins and other diagnostic tools. If the body is given the right tools it has the ability to heal itself.
"As your Nutritionist/Life Coach it is my job to educate and teach you how to make healthy lifestyle choices that stick. I do not believe in a 'one size fits all' approach, we are all genetically and spiritually unique and should be treated as so via individualized life coaching and tutoring.
"The natural healing force within each one of us is the greatest force in getting well. Let food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food"
I enjoy helping people meet their educational goals through tutoring or assisting people with their health goals whether it be weight loss or through holistic life coaching. Whatever path you may be on spiritually, mentally or physically I will do my best to assist you in making your goals come true. Holistic life coaching can include advice for changing careers, relationship advice, or even dietary recommendations to improve one's mood, energy level and prevent disease.
